Full Description

This volume deals with the molecular biology and physio- pathological roles of these proteins. It also explores how these seemingly unrelated compounds are involved in cognate processes such as immunomodulation, inflammation, chemotaxis, exocytosis, cell differentiation and blood coagulation. The text is organized into two principal sections, Lipocortins and Cytokines (IL-1 and TNF), each addressing one type of protein and its related subtopics.

Contents

LIPOCORTINS: Role in Phospholipase A2 Inhibition and Glucocorticoid Response; Role in Differentiation and in the Binding of Calcium and Phospholipids; CYTOKINES: Expression; IL-1 Receptors and Post-Receptor Events; Structure of IL-1 and TNF; IL-1 Functions; TNF Receptors and Functions; Role of Cytokines in Chemotaxis.
